My Bryant 561C A/C unit just stopped working today. I checked power to unit and everything is ok. When I disconnect power outside for approx 10 minutes and re-connect the fan makes a clunk sound and moves approx 1inch. The fan moves freely and the inside blower fan will work on the ON position but not the Auto. The furnace is a Bryant plus90. I was thinking the problem could be the capacitor however if the capacitor is bad would the fan move at all? The compressor does not seem to be turning on either. I did not want to go through the trouble of discharging the capacitor to check it if this was not a possible problem.

i suppose the compressor doesn't turn on either.

The fan moves freely and the inside blower fan will work on the ON position but not the Auto.
when you say "not in the Auto", are you meaning when calling for cooling?

The furnace is a Bryant plus90.
nothing wrong with a Bryant.

I was thinking the problem could be the capacitor however if the capacitor is bad would the fan move at all?
which capacitor are you referring to here? the blower or condenser motor?

The compressor does not seem to be turning on either.
okay then, the compressor doesn't run either.

I did not want to go through the trouble of discharging the capacitor to check it if this was not a possible problem.
are you a service tech?

Thank You..
you are welcome i think.

sorry i couldn't help much. i think i need more info.
are you having problems with the furnace or the condensing unit? maybe it is the furnace not the condensing unit!
